According to one published report, one of the store clerks was shot multiple times during the robbery, and another was beaten. Both men are expected to recover from their injuries.

He was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital with gunshot wounds to his stomach and back.

There has been no further word on the condition of the other clerk.
